No, there probably isn't anything wrong with your calibration. While beta testing, I noticed the same problems with my Cougar. You need to go into the "input" section under "options" and assign a dead-zone to the appropriate axis and I also suggest adding a slight curve to the axis. See if this helps. As far far as the commands problem, I can't help you on that one. Did you assign them within the sim or via a profile with Saitek software?

ok guys, i had the same problem too, but you need to add "dead zones" to the axis'....to do this go into the options screen for your stick.....you should set a dead zone for each axis, start with maybe half or one full line of dead zone and go from there.....adjust the dead zones to the way you like your stick to feel

this will take care of any rolling or pitching....the aircraft will then fly straight as a board til you move your stick

Do you have to do them indiviually. pitch and roll? Or both at the same time when your setting dead zones? where do you start with the slider? middle?..end? one mark?...two marks? Maybe I need pictures..lol I'm sorry I'm just an idiot when it comes to "setting dead zones"

I think it just happens in the training mission because, I think, 'Altitude Stabilization Mode' is on when you press CTRL-Q to take control.

Here' something I posted earlier...

As far as the frustration concerning the pitch. I figured out what cures it for me!! Yeah!!! Cause if I couldn't have figured it out it would have completely kept me from being able to enjoy the sim.

What cured it for me was toggling 'Altitude Stabilization Mode' by pressing 'H' on the keyboard. That was all it took. After that it was all good!

Cheers,
